Contact with foreign entities when that person is under investigation for illegal activities. The NSA does not investigate your communication just because you call a foreign entity.
- sneak 7y agoThis is a false statement. The NSA does bulk collection of the data you describe.
- sureaboutthis 7y agoBulk collection of data has nothing to do with what I said.
- sneak 7y agoCorrect me if I am wrong, but is your argument “they aren’t investigating you, they are just collecting all of your call data and other traffic and storing it in case they want to investigate you later”?
- sureaboutthis 7y agoI said no such thing. I said they aren't looking into your data just because you called a foreign entity.
- sneak 7y agoThey collect it and store it indefinitely, though, which we now know thanks to Edward Snowden. I think you are moving the goalposts with terms like “looking into”. They are in possession of it and have permanent access to it. For emails and SMS, this involves full content, too. It even includes US-US communication if the stored communications provider replicates it out of the country, which is so common as to be expected in almost all cases.
